My Review

The Legend of the Easter Robin

By Dandi Daley Mackall

What a wonderful Easter story. Little Tressa is concerned about the little robin eggs keeping warm. Her Gran assures her the Momma will care for them.  As Tressa watches daily to things that can happen in the life of the eggs Gran consoles her to let her know God cares for all creatures.   Gran is teaching her God's way Gran tells her a story about about a little bird with a very big heart. and just how the robin got its red breast, The story of Jesus who sacrificed His life for us. Beautiful story, very well  illustrated by Richard Cowdrey.
